I was intrigued when I got mine a couple weeks ago how the windows would slightly lower raise when the door would open/shut.

Another example, recalibrating the throttle by turning the key in the on position and pressing down to the floor ( total 3 seconds ) then release for 3 seconds.

Any other cool features? Such as looking at extra engine specs on the cluster display, etc.?
What about the fuel reset button that is on the left side panel down by the clutch pedal. My car wouldn't start one day after work ait everything I tried wouldn't work. Tried jumping it and popping the clutch but still nothing. It seemed like it wasn't getting gas but I didn't even know the button was there and I pushed it and car started right up, I I'm using f****** a few times when the car wouldn't start for some odd reason and I just hit the button and then it started right up. I don't know what causes it not to start or why would have to hit the button but it saved me a few times. I know this is an old thread but there's been a lot of old ones that I have came across I'm trying to search for other stuff and learned a few things. Just like if you have the shaker 500 or 1000 stereo system with the subs and the doors if put aftermarket head unit in the subs in the doors won't work unless you purchase a wire harness with the three connectors on it and not just one and then don't have to disable the factory amps

Another for me, but not so hidden, is the amount of hauling space with both back seats down.
Mine was the red fuel shut off button by the hood lever. I waited for 3 hours for AAA and then found that button and car started right up

BTW if you splice into one of the wires on that button, you can install a hidden switch to cut fuel in case someone gets your key and tries to drive off.
There are also some other circuits you can interrupt to disable the ability to drive off for cheap and easy theft protection.
